let's shift to politics. >>> a senator has announced he's not running for re-election. lottenberg said while i may not be seeking re-election there is plenty of work to do before the end of this term and i'll going to keep fighting as hard as ever for the people of new jersey and the united states senate. what led to this decision, his age? the inevitability of cory booker. >> i was going to say he has cory booker nipping at his heals and people look at cory booker as a rising star. they won't let that be stopped because they consider him to be the future of the party. that was inevitable. but i want to give credit where credit is due. senator lautenberg is one of the heroes in the initiative. he fought in the 90s to ensure those convicted of misdemeanor assaults also could not get guns, which was a big step. it used to be just felonies. we often know that domestic violence often escalates from a small incident to a larger one then to death. he pushed for that gun control. he'll an real loss in terms of the gun control movement. i want to pay respect to that. >> michael

official and governor -- once a local elected official, always a local elected official. what i learned from that is partnership is what it's all about. if you want to confront the most vexing problems, you have to bring people across an ideological spectrum, you have to include the business community, you have to include our nonprofit, our faith leaders. that's how you get things done, when you bring people together. and i look around this room and i see that you have already figured that out. i hope some of you had the opportunity to meet lee hirsch because i've done a lot of work with him in the context of our bullying. one of my favorite memories in my experience with lee is that we watched this film together with about a thousand people in sioux falls, south dakota, it was remarkable to watch the reactions of the kids in sioux falls, parents, educators, and we did that same q and a when we were done. i appreciate the wonderful words of your superintendent, that was exactly the dynamic in sioux falls and that's the remarkable thing, superintendent, is that this issue
